Get the marinade ready:

• Whisk the yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, and all the powdered masalas (red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, turmeric, paprika, black pepper, salt, and cinnamon). Include the chopped green chilies if you want your food even hotter.
• To make a wonderful-smelling creamy masala marinade, you need to blend the ingredients well.

Let the chicken marinate:

• Apply a paper towel to wipe and to clean thoroughly the chicken drumsticks, and let them absorb the marinade.
• Poke each drumstick two to three times with a sharp knife. This makes the meat moist and tastier as compared to when it is marinated directly on the body of the animal.
• In the bowl of the marinade, put the chicken drumsticks. Pound each drumstick into the marinade till well coated with it.
• If the mixture is to be slowly marinated, cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour up to overnight. Thus, it may be said that developed palates are reached when fish is marinated for a longer time.

Prepare the drumsticks:

• Turn oven setting up to 400°F or 200°C. Put a wire racked on an aluminum foil that is on the baking pan. This makes it possible for the drumsticks to penetrate through and get crispy on both surfaces of the drumstick.
• Once the drumsticks have been marinated, put them on the wire rack. For extra crisp, even lightly glazing the drumsticks with vegetable oil is recommended.
• Fry the drumsticks for 40 to 45 minutes in an oven and turn the drumsticks over after the middle part of cooking time. In every part of the chicken drumsticks, the meat should be tender, and on the outer layer, the surface should be brownish-red and crispy.
• It can be served immediately, or you can use a meat thermometer to ensure that ‘the internal temperature of the chicken is sufficiently high as to cook the chicken well. The part of the drumstick that is thickest should reach 165°F (75°C).

Add a garnish and serve:

• After preparation, remove the drumsticks from the oven, which should stand for 5-10 minutes, thereby allowing the juices to be reabsorbed.
• Sprinkle some chopped coriander on top and accompany it with lime wedges. Lemon juice is a great verdict for the spiciness of the masala.

AIM: Guides to Create Perfect Masala Drumsticks

Marinade Longer: Ideally, let the chicken marinade for not less than one night for the best flavors to penetrate deep into the meat. This makes the chicken softer and helps the spices penetrate its surface and perhaps deeper.

Grilling Option: Grill the drumsticks for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping them around, then put it inside the oven, until the drumsticks are caramelized in color and cooked through, which makes it smokey.

Spice Level: The red chili powder and green chilies should be used to get the right heat required in the preparation.
